I could not determine what was different about the 20 records, nothing 
looked strange, but the screen that crashes displays a blob field plus 
other fields such as name, address, city, etc.

I "turned off" the output processing line that posts data to the blob 
field, deleted each of the 20 bad records, and ran the output processing 
for each of the 20 records, thus creating a new record for each.  The 
records then are "well", but they do not contain data in the blob field.

Whatever the problem, it is related to the blob field.

The text file has 7 fields (73,*).  Probably half the 8,000+ records 
have no data in any of these fields.  At least two of the 20 bad records 
had no data in these fields.  None of the 20 had data in more than three 
of these seven fields.  ALL 8,000+  records including the 20 had been 
run before (last time was middle of May) and they posted whatever data 
to the blob field, no problem and no errors.

These seven fields are posted to blob field using,
glp(37)= 57 <58 <59 <60 <61 <62 <63

There have been a couple XP "updates" since May??
